New to Vedanta?

There are many resources dedicated to Vedanta and non duality on the internet. Unfortunately, many of these resources do not present the topic in a systematic way. For someone who is new to Vedanta, this can be confusing. Below are some resources for those who may be encountering Vedanta for the first time and might be wondering what it’s all about.

What is Enlightenment

interview with James Swartz

Enlightenment is the hard and fast knowledge that I am lmitless, non dual, actionless, ordinary, unconcerned awareness and not the objects appearing in me.

Vedanta is the science of non-­‐duality. It is not a religion or a philosophy nor is it based on the ideas of a single person or person's beliefs or opinions. It is therefore called an independent and valid means of self knowledge.

Vedanta presents freedom from limitation as the most desirable goal of human life.

Contacting Shining World

﻿

For years I have happily and diligently responded to communications on the topic of Self realization. Since the publication of my book, “How to Attain Enlightenment”— currently in its third printing —and the success of this website, the volume of emails has increased considerably. Unfortunately, owing to a busy schedule of teaching and writing, I am no longer able to answer all the emails I receive in a timely fashion. However, my wife, who is also a teacher, and several well-qualified teachers we have endorsed are available to answer emails on my behalf. I encourage you to send them your questions. — James SwartzContact Us
